A summer holiday in Bulgarian seaside hotels is already possible from the middle of May. The sea water warms up to about 19 degrees Celsius, providing comfortable conditions for daytime swimming. In June and July the beach resorts are especially popular: the air warms up to around 30 degrees and the long daylight hours allow you to spend more time sunbathing. The velvet season starts in September and is ideal for a calm, comfortable trip. The tourist season in Bulgaria usually ends in mid October as air temperatures drop and rainfall increases. It is also a good time to book a tour for the following year.

What to do in Bulgarian resorts with waterparks
In Nessebar, Sunny Beach, Golden Sands and other resorts, start your day with a relaxing beach walk and a swim in the sea while the water is calm and the air is still fresh. Shallow areas and soft sand are very comfortable for children, so morning is the perfect time for carefree games at the water's edge.
Later, head to the hotel waterpark or a nearby aquapark. Slides of different heights, lazy rivers and splash zones keep kids busy for hours, while parents can take a break in the jacuzzi, spa or at the pool bar. Animation teams organise games, competitions and mini-clubs so that children always have something to do.
In the evening, the resorts come alive with promenades, seafront restaurants, fish taverns, bars and souvenir shops. You can combine walks with visits to the old town in Nessebar, short sunset cruises or evening folklore shows, so that your beach holiday also includes cultural experiences.
Suggested 1-day itinerary: beach, waterpark and old Nessebar
In the morning, take a stroll along the beach and enjoy a swim in the sea before it gets too hot and crowded. After breakfast at the hotel, plan a few hours in the waterpark: slides, lazy rivers and shallow pools for kids will ensure your children burn off energy in a safe and fun environment.
At lunchtime, stop at the hotel restaurant or a local tavern to try traditional Bulgarian dishes such as fresh salads, grilled fish and desserts. After lunch, relax by the pool or on a sun lounger on the beach, while children join animation activities or visit the mini-club.
Towards evening, head to the old town of Nessebar. Narrow cobbled streets, historic churches and panoramic sea views create a special atmosphere. You can finish the day with dinner at a restaurant overlooking the coast or back at the hotel, where evening shows and entertainment programmes are often organised.
Suggested 2-day itinerary: Sunny Beach, Nessebar and Golden Sands
Day one can be dedicated entirely to Sunny Beach. Spend the morning on the seaside, then move to the hotel waterpark or a public aquapark in the resort. In the evening, walk along the promenade, drop by shops and bars, and visit viewing points with beautiful sea panoramas.
On day two, starting from Sunny Beach or Nessebar, go on an excursion to Golden Sands or Kranevo. You can visit another hotel with a waterpark, change the beach setting or walk around the protected area near Golden Sands. For those who prefer to relax, it is enough to alternate the beach with spa areas, pools and sunny terraces in the hotel.
Both days can easily be complemented by boat trips, wine tastings and folklore evenings. This way you combine active children's holidays with cultural impressions for adults, without overloading the overall schedule.
